It’s all about the bubbles.

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    Apple put their services on Android devices too. Just not iMessage.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they cite privacy as a reason.

      Come on. There isn’t anything near parity with the cross platforming of apps. Apple has a few (three of them are music apps) and I believe Google puts all or nearly all their apps on iOS.

        When did I say there was parity? I just pointed out they do create Android apps for some of their services.

        They’re both acting in the interest of the company and not the user. Apple make money by selling devices. Protecting the services that push you to purchase Apple devices makes sense.

        Google are an advertising company and by bringing their services to Apple devices they make money off the users.

        Is not altruism, it’s profiteering.

      If they were honest, they would cite “creating the illusion of superiority via systematic exclusion which leads to profits”

        Why be honest when you can lie and say it’s for someone’s benefit?

        There probably are privacy implications, which makes it a good one.
